Hide [BGxINT] Antecedentes
El Código de Prácticas Mundial de la OMS sobre Contratación Internacional de Personal de Salud («el Código»), adoptado en 2010 por la 63.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud (resolución WHA63.16), tiene por objeto fortalecer la comprensión y la gestión ética de la contratación internacional de personal de salud a través de la mejora de los datos, la información y la cooperación internacional.

En el artículo 7 del Código se alienta a los Estados Miembros de la OMS a intercambiar información sobre la contratación y migración internacionales de personal de salud. El Director General de la OMS tiene el mandato de presentar informes cada tres años a la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.

En mayo de 2022 los Estados Miembros de la OMS concluyeron la cuarta ronda de presentación de informes nacionales. Ese mismo mes, el Director General de la OMS informó a la 75.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud (A75/14). sobre los progresos logrados en la aplicación del Código. En dicho informe se subrayaba la necesidad de evaluar las repercusiones de la emigración de personal de salud en el contexto de las vulnerabilidades adicionales debidas a la pandemia de COVID-19. A tal efecto, se volvió a convocar al Grupo Consultivo de Expertos Encargado de Examinar la Pertinencia y Eficacia del Código (A73/9). A raíz de las recomendaciones del Grupo Consultivo de Expertos, la Secretaría ha publicado la Lista de la OMS para el Apoyo y la Salvaguardia del Personal de Salud 2023.

El instrumento nacional de presentación de informes (NRI, por sus siglas en inglés) es un instrumento de autoevaluación en el país para el intercambio de información y el seguimiento del Código. El NRI permite a la OMS recopilar e intercambiar los datos e información actualmente disponibles sobre la contratación y migración internacionales de personal de salud. Las constataciones de la quinta ronda de presentación de informes nacionales se presentarán al Consejo Ejecutivo (156.ª reunión) en enero de 2025, en preparación para la 78.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.

El plazo para presentar informes finaliza el 31 de agosto de 2024.

En virtud del artículo 9, el Director General tiene el mandato de presentar informes periódicos a la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud sobre el examen de la eficacia del Código para alcanzar los objetivos enunciados en el mismo, así como propuestas para mejorarlo. En 2024 se convocará un grupo consultivo de expertos para llevar a cabo el tercer examen del Código. El informe del examen se presentará a la 78.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.

Responsabilidades, derechos y prácticas de contratación
Hide [Q7] 7. Si su país emplea/acoge a personal de salud internacional para trabajar en los sectores de la salud y asistencial, ¿qué garantías jurídicas y/u otros mecanismos se han introducido a favor del personal de salud migrante y para garantizar que tenga los mismos derechos y responsabilidades en el plano jurídico que el personal de salud formado en el país?
Sírvase marcar todos los elementos pertinentes de la siguiente lista:
La contratación de personal de salud migrante se realiza mediante prácticas que le ofrecen la posibilidad de evaluar los beneficios y los riesgos asociados a los empleos, y de tomar decisiones oportunas y fundamentadas sobre el empleo.
In Timor-Leste, there are ongoing efforts to improve the recruitment and retention of health personnel, including migrant health workers. The specific mechanisms that allow migrant health personnel to assess the benefits and risks associated with employment positions and make timely and informed decisions are not explicitly detailed in the available resources. The broader goal is to strengthen the healthcare system and ensure that all health workers, including migrants, are well-supported
El personal de salud migrante es contratado, ascendido y remunerado con arreglo a criterios objetivos tales como el nivel de calificación, los años de experiencia y el grado de responsabilidad profesional, sobre la base de la igualdad de trato con el personal de salud formado en el país.
In Timor-Leste, the recruitment and management of health personnel, including migrant workers, aim to follow objective criteria such as qualifications, experience, and professional responsibilities. However, there are challenges in consistently applying these standards due to factors like the availability of qualified personnel and the need to fill positions in remote areas. Efforts are being made to improve the recruitment process and ensure equitable treatment for all health workers, whether domestically trained or migrants. This includes initiatives to enhance training, provide financial incentives, and support professional development.
El personal de salud migrante tiene las mismas oportunidades que el personal de salud formado en el país para fortalecer su educación, sus calificaciones y su desarrollo profesionales.
In Timor-Leste, migrant health personnel face some challenges in accessing the same opportunities as domestically trained health workers. While there are efforts to integrate and support all health professionals, disparities still exist in terms of professional education, qualifications, and career progression.
Se han introducido mecanismos institucionales para garantizar la migración/movilidad seguras y la integración del personal de salud migrante.
Timor-Leste has institutional arrangements in place to ensure the safe migration, mobility, and integration of migrant health personnel. The government, with support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), has developed policies and frameworks to manage migration effectively. These include: Migration Governance: Timor-Leste has established comprehensive migration governance structures to address various aspects of migration, including health. Health Integration: Specific projects, such as community-based tuberculosis screening, have been implemented to ensure the health needs of migrants are met. Labour Mobility Schemes: Timor-Leste participates in international labour mobility schemes, such as the Employment Permit System with South Korea and the Pacific Labour Scheme with Australia, which include provisions for the welfare and integration of migrant workers. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to facilitate safe, orderly, and regular migration, ensuring that migrant health personnel are well-integrated and supported.
Se han adoptado medidas para promover la migración circular del personal de salud internacional.
Some key efforts include: Labour Mobility Schemes: Timor-Leste participates in labour mobility schemes such as the Employment Permit System (EPS) with South Korea and the Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) with Australia. These programs facilitate the temporary migration of workers, including health professionals, allowing them to gain experience abroad and return with enhanced skills
Otras medidas (en particular jurídicas o administrativas) para garantizar prácticas justas de contratación y empleo del personal de salud formado en el extranjero y/o inmigrante (sírvase dar detalles)
In Timor-Leste, fair recruitment and employment practices for foreign-trained and immigrant health personnel are guided by several legal and administrative measures. Here are some key aspects: 1. Adherence to International Standards: Timor-Leste aligns with the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. This code emphasizes ethical recruitment practices, ensuring that the rights of health workers are protected and that recruitment does not negatively impact the health systems of source countries 2. National Legislation: Timor-Leste has national laws that govern the employment of foreign workers, including health personnel. These laws ensure that foreign workers are treated fairly and have the same rights and protections as local workers. This includes compliance with labor laws, non-discrimination policies, and fair wage practices 3. Administrative Procedures: The government has established administrative procedures to facilitate the fair recruitment of foreign health workers. This includes transparent recruitment processes, proper documentation, and support services to help foreign workers integrate into the local health system 4. Timor-Leste collaborates with international organizations such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to implement best practices in the recruitment and employment of foreign health personnel. These collaborations help ensure that recruitment practices are ethical and that foreign workers are supported throughout their employment

Principales obstáculos Posibles soluciones/recomendaciones
Lack of Comprehensive Migration Policies: Timor-Leste lacks well-defined and comprehensive migration policies that address the rights and needs of migrants, both incoming and outgoing Develop and Implement Comprehensive Policies: The government should work with international organizations like the IOM to develop and implement comprehensive migration policies that protect the rights of migrants and ensure their well-being; Regular Policy Reviews: Establish a mechanism for regular review and updating of migration policies to adapt to changing migration patterns and challenges.
Limited Institutional Capacity Constraint: There is limited institutional capacity to manage migration effectively, including inadequate infrastructure and human resources Capacity Building: Invest in training and capacity-building programs for government officials and institutions involved in migration management; Infrastructure Development: Improve infrastructure at key points of entry and within institutions responsible for migration management to handle the flow of migrants more efficiently.
Border Security and Transnational Crime Constraint: Increased mobility has led to challenges in border security, including the risk of transnational organized crimes Enhanced Border Security Measures: Implement advanced border security measures, including the use of technology for better monitoring and control; International Cooperation: Strengthen cooperation with neighboring countries and international organizations to combat transnational crimes and ensure secure borders.
Hide [Q16] 16. ¿Qué tipo de apoyo necesita para mejorar la aplicación del Código?
Apoyo para mejorar los datos y la información sobre el personal de salud
Capacity Building: Focus on building local capacity to analyze and use health data effectively. This includes training health workers and managers to use data for decision-making; Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS): Implementing and improving HRIS helps in managing and utilizing health workforce data. This system supports better planning, recruitment, and retention of health personnel

Reflecting on the past 14 years since the resolution on the Code, Timor-Leste has seen significant developments and challenges. Overall, the Code has been a dynamic and evolving document that has significantly contributed to Timor-Leste’s progress. It has provided a foundation for reconciliation, legal reforms, and the promotion of human rights, while also highlighting areas that require ongoing attention and adaptation.
Hide [Q17x2] ¿Es necesario actualizar algún artículo del Código?

Legal and Social Context: The legal framework and social context in Timor-Leste have also evolved. Issues such as access to justice, the role of women and children in society, and the use of local languages in media have highlighted the need for the Code to be inclusive and reflective of these changes1. https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Legal-History-and-the-Rule-of-Law-in-Timor-Leste.pdf

Hide [Q17x3] ¿Es necesario actualizar el proceso de presentación de informes sobre la aplicación del Código y el examen de la pertinencia y eficacia del Código?

Review of Code Relevance and Effectiveness: The relevance and effectiveness of the Code should be reviewed periodically to ensure it aligns with current needs and challenges. This includes incorporating feedback from various stakeholders, including local communities, to make the Code more inclusive and responsive.

Hide [Q17x4] Sírvase formular observaciones sobre la Lista de la OMS para el Apoyo y la Salvaguardia del Personal de Salud (por ejemplo, si su país está en la lista, de qué modo les ha afectado este hecho; si su país depende de personal de salud internacional, de qué modo les ha afectado la lista; si su país no está en la lista, de qué modo les ha afectado este hecho)
Impact on Countries Included in the List : For countries included in the list, such as those with significant health workforce shortages, the safeguards can help retain essential health personnel. This can lead to improved healthcare services and better health outcomes for the population. However, it might also limit opportunities for health workers seeking employment abroad, potentially affecting their income and career growth; Impact on Countries Relying on International Health Personnel: Countries that rely heavily on international health personnel might face challenges in recruiting from the countries on the list. This could lead to staffing shortages and increased pressure on existing health workers. These countries may need to invest more in training and retaining their own health workforce to mitigate these effects; Impact on Timor-Leste: Timor-Leste is not included in the WHO health workforce support and safeguards list. This means that Timor-Leste does not face the same restrictions on international recruitment of health personnel. However, it also means that Timor-Leste might not receive the targeted support and safeguards aimed at countries with the most critical health workforce needs. This could impact the country’s ability to attract and retain health workers, potentially affecting the overall quality of healthcare services.
